10 Underappreciated Marvel Superheroes Who Deserve Their Own Movies

The
MCU is coming together into something quite remarkable, always expanding and
evolving, encompassing numerous secondary characters and settings. It’s
expansive, resulting in constant speculation, and irrepressible excitement and
anticipation, understandably so. After all, the question is always popping up:
who might join the Avengers?

Thus
far, the Marvel cinematic universe has accomplished the impossible: merging
seemingly incompatible elements of multiple intellectual properties, and
maintaining a certain standard of filmmaking and storytelling simultaneously,
which seemed impossible when the concept was originally introduced. Regardless,
the MCU has succeeded in ways DC can only dream, somehow integrating Captain
America, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor, despite their overwhelming
uniqueness and apparent incompatibility.

That
said, the question remains: who might crop up in the future? Moreover, which
superheroes might make the jump from comics to movies the most effectively?

Well, here's 10 that could make the leap...

10. Spider-Woman

Marvel

Introduced
in Marvel Spotlight #32 back in 1977, Jessica Drew was originally a private
investigator who eventually developed the persona – Spider-Woman – when she
joined the crime-fighting business, having been injected with a genetically engineered venom by her
father. Jessica is capable of producing the venom herself, attacking her
opponent’s central nervous system, as well as producing a powerful pheromone
which can incapacitate her adversaries.

Marvel
have introduced numerous Spider-Women over the years, however, Jessica Drew is easily the most interesting
iteration. She’s relatable – abandoned as an infant, constantly exploited and
constantly questioning her humanity – having been mentally conditioned and
raised by Hydra, before escaping the organisation and forming her own destiny
as a downtrodden crime-fighter in NYC.
